How do I know if I need
the Berry Update?
In Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire, certain berry
trees will stop producing berries after you've played your game
for one year. All main game play activities, such as collecting
and battling Pokémon, are not affected. If you want to
keep the berries growing after a year of game play, please use
the information below to find out how to update your game pak.

How do I get the Berry
Update?
There are six different ways to make sure that your berry patches
never dry up.

Add Jirachi to Your Team from your Bonus Disc
If you received the Bonus Disc that was available from participating
retailers during the pre-sell of Pokémon Colosseum, you might
be surprised to know that it contains a special gift -- Jirachi!
You will automatically receive the berry patch upgrade when
you use a Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Advance Cable to transfer
Jirachi to your Pokémon Ruby or Sapphire Game Pak.

Play Pokémon Colosseum
You'll automatically receive the berry patch upgrade by using
one of the connective features when you link Pokémon
Ruby or Pokémon Sapphire to Pokémon Colosseum
using a Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Advance Cable.

Connect to Pokémon FireRed, Pokmon LeafGreen, or Pokémon Emerald
You'll receive the berry patch upgrade by linking
Pokémon Ruby or Pokémon Sapphire to Pokémon FireRed, Pokémon LeafGreen, or Pokémon Emerald using a Game Boy Advance Link Cable. Once they are connected, power on the "1P" system. When the Pokémon
FireRed/LeafGreen title screen appears, hold down the B Button and SELECT, then follow the instructions that appear on-screen.

What is the special
item I can download onto Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon
Sapphire, and how do I do that?
You can download a brand new Pokémon to your Pokémon
Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire games: Jirachi!

How to get Jirachi
If you received the Bonus Disc that was available from participating
retailers during the pre-sell of Pokémon Colosseum, you might
be surprised to know that it contains a special gift -- Jirachi!
Jirachi is a brand new Pokémon, never seen before until
now. To download Jirachi off of the Bonus Disc, insert the Bonus
Disc into your Nintendo GameCube, and connect your Pokémon Ruby
or Sapphire game to the Nintendo GameCube using a Nintendo GameCube
Game Boy Advance Link Cable. Use the menu to download Jirachi
and add him to your team. In addition, doing so will also give
you the Berry Update.

Please note: prior to getting Jirachi, you must have acquired
the Pokdex on your Pokémon Ruby or Sapphire game, and you must
have at least one space open in your party.
